I do high bar squats with a very narrow stance actually. Might give low bar and a wider stance a try tomorrow. I'm going very low on them, I just have trouble with my knees bending inwards.

ZOMFG, I know the answer to this one, so...I'll just take off my "low-class forum denizen" hat and slip my "former personal trainer" stocking mask over my head:

You have a muscular imbalance, specifically underdeveloped hip abductors. Work these more, and it'll be easier to maintain alignment when you squat. Buncha ways you can do this, all of which involve moving your upper legs away from the center line of the body. Easiest is probably the abductor/adductor machine that you see girls using all the time (just don't use the adductor side). You can also use cables with an ankle strap, one of those multi-hip machines, or a resistance band (and do side-steps or just static contractions).

Also, learning to squat just plain sucks. It takes a while, it's super-uncomfortable, and you feel crazy awkward, but eventually everything just clicks into place. No need to worry about weight while you're still learning; there's plenty of time for that later when your form is solid and you're less likely to injure yourself.

cez: I'm only saying this because you know I love you and your standard uniform works very well for you.

That last fit didn't work and I agree with the shoe-hate... it wasn't just the style that didn't match up. It was also the proportions. The shoe was way too slim/pointy/euro for the rest of the outfit. The look works for LK up there because he's wearing slimmer pants with a much smaller leg opening and a BoO button down. The chambray shirt and the cut of the khaki pants just screams "work wear". LK is looking far more prep there.

Fit would have worked if you either:

1. Wore chunkier shoes/boots
2. Had a slimmer, more elegant pair of chinos paired with a chambray shirt that was cut and detailed like an OCBD rather than a work shirt

I think it would've been fine if cez just tapered the chinos below the knee. Fix the wide hem, and the relative sleekness of the shoe ceases to be an issue.

really? what can you criticize? sorry, but when it's hot out, I'm not gonna be wearing jeans, tshirts and heavy jackets. im very happy with my style thank you

Yah, you're a regular style icon. I can't believe I humored all of your posts before..you look like every Joe schmoe in va. At least slack tide brings something to the table despite the fact that I detest the brands
